Climb to one of the highest points in Cairo at the imposing Citadel of Saladin, a medieval fortress that once guarded the city. Within its walls stands the dazzling Mosque of Muhammad Ali, an Ottoman-style masterpiece with alabaster walls and sweeping views over Cairo’s skyline.

Continue your journey into Old Cairo, where Christianity took root in Egypt. Visit the Hanging Church, built atop the ancient Roman fortress walls, and admire the serene interiors of St. Sergius Church (Abu Serga), believed to have sheltered the Holy Family during their flight to Egypt. You’ll also explore Ben Ezra Synagogue, a treasured symbol of Cairo’s Jewish history.

Wrap up your day in the vibrant heart of Cairo’s old souqs. At Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, immerse yourself in centuries-old commerce as you browse spices, jewelry, lamps, perfumes, and hand-made souvenirs. Sip a traditional tea at El-Fishawy Café or simply enjoy the energy of this living historical market.

After the tour, your guide will return you to your hotel in comfort.
